On Your Bike Gravesend

Gravesend Rotary Club

Thanks to our riders we are able to provide help and progress. Thanks to our sponsors we are able to hand over the maximum possible to help.

But the secret to doing even more is sponsorship.

Our aim for 2018 is to encourage every rider to create £30 in sponsorship in addition to their entry donation.

It is easier than ever to do this through a Virgin Moneygiving page or with the sponsorship form we send in your entry pack.

If every rider reached that £30 we would have an extra £20,000 plus for charity.

Please also
donate or sponsor for £30 for a huge total . . . .

How is your handwriting!

Gift Aid allows hundreds of more pounds of help for charities but to claim this we need you to fill in your entry form very carefully . . . .

If we cannot read your writing then we cannot give the HMRC the details they need. The form design has big boxes but extra careful capitals as well please. That also goes for those joining on the day.

Sunday, 15 April
is
'On Your Bike' 2018.
We want a thousand riders and thousands of pounds raised for charity

Great support great event
great day . . .

Gravesend Rotary Club is very pleased to announce that Ellenor hospice services will be the main beneficiary for On Your Bike 2018.

Thanks to the wheelpower of On Your Bike Riders in 2017 we were able to present £8,000 to Ellenor from the event. This is how you helped them . . . .

"On behalf of everyone here at ellenor, I would like to say a huge thank you for your most generous donation of £8,000 – raised from yet another fantastic On Your Bike event. Thanks to this, we can continue to provide expert care to babies, children, adults and families across Kent facing terminal illness.

Such an incredible sum of money can cover many elements of the service we provide and you can be sure that this will be making a huge difference to the patients and families under our care.

A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP - Every day, we provide night time respite to a family in need of a break and a good night’s sleep. Life is always so much brighter when you are fully rested. £8,000 provides 60 nights of much needed rest for families facing terminal illness.

FUND A DAY (or two!) - It costs over £4,000 per day to pay for our entire children’s service. Nurses, therapists, counsellors, carers; all caring for children and their families in some of the hardest times.

CHEMOTHERAPY – on average a child with Leukaemia will require 16 chemotherapy treatments. We are able to regularly discharge children following successful treatment when the child is cancer free. £8,000 would enable an ellenor nurse to complete this course for six children in the child’s own home.

It is only through the generosity of supporters like you that we are able to continue funding our nurses, carers, healthcare assistants and more. Voluntary donations make up more than 75% of our income, so we really couldn’t do it without you." Ewan Touhy

Sunday, 15 April, is the big day and we look forward to hundreds of you getting those entry forms filled in and letting us have them up until 8 April so we can send your number and pack through the post.
